OK, so I tried using the WXR extension posted earlier on in this thread, on an up to date 100% functional pivotx install.After moving it in the extensions dir, it's there under extensions in the pivotx webUI, but when I click 'edit configuration' (which I probably should do before exporting) it flashes me a config page for a few milliseconds then skips right to the Export options.What's up with that? How do I do the config for this?

Then I tried p2w.php, the other export script mentioned here, but it fails with"Could not connect to DB . No such file or directory"OK, so what DB? It's flatfile, without credentials. There's only one DB to be found under the pivotx dir where I put the p2w.php, how hard can it be to find/see it?

Could someone do a decent write-up on how to succesfully do any of these?

In addition you really should use the latest version of hook_wxrexport.php since I just fixed some minor issues (and might find more later today).

Added: I have just tested that bonusfields (extrafields) can be imported into Bolt. Yeah! It's not documented in the WXRExport extension docs, but I'll do so before we make a proper release on extensions.pivotx.net

OK hans, so I tried exporting using the latest from april 6th, but it poses some questions;

For me the optionExport Including commentsshould do. So I tried, and it just loads a really large page in my Firefox browser. It does not offer me .xml files, like with exporting the categories and such.What do I do with the loaded webpage? Save it as what?And in what character format is it? I see all kinds of translation errors (non UTF8 export perhaps?) in the text of the exported content. Which is unexpected, since they do show OK within pivot and its server etc.

OK, so there is some error/warning in the export that PHP reports and this breaks the HTTP header which tells the browser that this is indeed XML. You might actually see the error/warning in the output in the browser - maybe at the start if you are lucky. You can also look at the error log for your web server. Run the export again and look at the end of the error log immediately afterwards. You might be able to catch the error also with the PivotX debug mode.

PS! Since I can't reproduce this on my own test sites or live/production sites I need your help to find the problem before I can fix it.

Unfortunately, it doesn't show *any* errors. It just takes a while and then shows the page with all posts and comments etc. but I'm not sure how to save the loaded file. From your post I understand it's supposed to be XML ?This is the start of the file, viewing source:

Does this mean I can just edit off that starting bit, and have it be proper xml ? Would that be enough, you think?
